Literary notes about likewise (AI summary)
In literature, the word likewise functions as a versatile connector that signals a relationship of similarity or parallelism between ideas, actions, or character traits. Authors use it to indicate that what applies or occurs in one context is equally true or relevant in another. For instance, Gibbon employs the term to knit together related historical observations ([1], [2]), while Vasari and Schopenhauer use it to emphasize comparable qualities in art and philosophy ([3], [4]). In narrative prose, writers like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens incorporate it to link sequential events or character behaviors, reinforcing a sense of balance and order in their storytelling ([5], [6]).
